Reporting test scores on the Univ. of California application

Test Preparation

Is a student required to report and send all subject test scores?

On the application, can a student just report the Calc A/B subscore without reporting the total B/C score?

Thanks.

Technically, UC does require all test scores.

But from a practical matter, ignoring BC fall under the no harm, no foul rule.

So all SAT IIs should be reported?

Thanks for the feedback on the BC exam.

Excuse me if I am understanding this wrong, but isn’t Calc AB and BC, AP classes/exams not SAT II subject tests?

You do not have to send AP exam scores until you are admitted to a UC/CSU. You then send the scores automatically at the end of Senior year when all scores will be available.

For SAT II subject tests, if they are not required, you do not have to send them but for the majority of the UC’s they will only help your chances not hurt them.

UC’s and CSU’s want all test scores so if you report them on the application, they want an offical copy sent.

To clarify: On the actual application, you self report everything, so it sounds like self reporting a good A/B score, but withholding a lower B/C score is ok.

In regards to the SAT IIs, I was just wondering if all SAT IIs need to be reported/listed/sent.

AP scores are not used for admission purposes, so I see no reason not report all scores. All scores will be sent to the UC of choice anyways, but low scores will not be used for AP credit.

Well, the B/C score was a 3, but the A/B was a 4, so the 4 looks better for self-reporting. Student would still get transfer credit at the UCs with a 3.
